Instruction	Size	Fetch and Decode + Execute
mov	2	3*2 + 2 = 8

can u please explain?

 Given Fetch and decode cycle is given per word so use it accordingly.

 And then just see how many cycles it is taking for executing the operation and add them both
For ex :Mov is 2 words long Thus fetching and decoding will take 6 cycle and then add two cycle for exectuing which is given explicitly in the question.

this is not a pipelining question right?
